Charity receives £900 boost from church
The gift to the Horsham-based Butterfly Project of £900 was made by the town’s Unitarian Church, which raised the money from a highly successful fayre staged in their city-centre Church Gardens premises.
The event was a resurrection of a long-dormant, annual country fête first staged by the Church way back in the ‘fifties.

In the town the Butterfly Project boasts a workshop making a wide range of wood and metalwork, a studio, and a retail outlet at 31 Springfield Road - all bases for their work and skills-based activities for the over-18s.
Among other activities they are currently quoting Southwater Parish Council to supply wooden planters to adorn the village’s Lintott Square.
The number of their trainees has grown rapidly in the last eighteen months, so the project would welcome more work offers - anything from paper rounds to garden gate manufacture.
